Services

BENEFIT	NON MEMBERS	CCTA MEMBERS
advice line + Advice Line We are on hand to help find an answer to any credit related queries members may have. By completing the advice line request form in the member only area of the website, invaluable guidance is never far away. We respond by email or phone as soon as possible. Whether chasing a speedy answer to a ‘quick question’, or looking for a more in depth solution to a problem, CCTA membership provides an invaluable service
complaint & conciliation service + COMPLAINT & CONCILIATION SERVICE At CCTA we operate a free complaint conciliation service, an effective way of dealing promptly, sympathetically, and fairly with potential problems. We aim to offer reassurance to the public that all companies allied to us, trade with integrity or risk expulsion from the association. We are committed to campaigning for best practice in lending, and work continually to raise the standards and increase the visibility and credibility of our industry.
advocacy + Advocacy Our vision is to be ‘the’ credible, valued and trusted representative of consumer finance. Our mission is to translate the interest of our members to UK and European regulators. It is difficult for any lone business to flex their muscles with regard to the barrage of regulatory reforms that seem to hit the credit industry on a regular basis. Lobbying is at the heart of our association. Our ultimate aim is to ensure that the voice of our members is heard and understood on a wide landscape of issues, challenging on their behalf, the cost and burden that new law can bring.
insight + Insight CCTA aims to be a source of useful insight for members, providing them with information from stakeholder engagement. We are both a central hub of knowledge and a sounding board. This insight helps ensure members have the information they need to plan, innovate, grow and make better decisions.
stakeholder engagement + Stakeholder Engagement Developing and maintaining relationships with external stakeholders is an essential part of our work. On the political side, HM Treasury, the Treasury Select Committee, APPGs and parliamentarians all play a role in the structure and regulation of the sector. We engage with the debt advice arena, think tanks and academics on publications and research that may be relevant to our membership and the issues it faces. Alongside this we work with the media, to speak on behalf of the alternative lending sector and challenge misconceptions. These engagements inform our work.
network + Network CCTA aims to create a vibrant network of lenders, for the benefit of members. This allows businesses to learn from each other and share experiences under the umbrella of the trade association. CCTA is also able to aggregate information from firms, in a way that is appropriate in terms of competition rules
ccta logos + CCTA Logos Our brand has evolved to reflect our corporate ethos and contemporary attitude. Membership brings with it the benefit of our reputation, and the option to use our easily recognised and highly regarded logo/s.
